I don't see anything wrong here, that's how it works for example
in Tizen or in Android for the boards I'm on: userspace sends a
stream of bits that are then submitted to the IR as they are.

If I change it to only pulse-space domain, then I wouldn't
provide support for those platforms. Eventually I can add a new
protocol.
